MSDE Install Problems

My apologies for beating a dead horse, but from looking at several
similar posts I still cannot make sense of getting MSDE to work on my
home PC to give me what I ultimately want - connection of Northwind to
my Visual Studio.

I'm, running at home a stand-alone PC, XP Pro.
I have Visual Basic .net Standard Version 2003
My Administrator Password is Admin for the computer, but I don't login
as Administrator for this (should I?)

I downloaded MSDE2000A.exe, verified that C:\MSDERelA folder existed, I
opened the Command Window and ran
C:\Documents and Settings\HomePC> setup instance="netsdk"
sapwd="password"
I get the message "Please gor to the Control Panel to install and
configure systems components"

From here I'm lost.

Thanks for any clues!
